vBulletin?
vBulletin seems like it would do the job. I don't know what kind of traffic it can handle, but feature-wise it kicks butt. It isn't free, but it is cheap. $160 I believe.
vBulletin has the ability to import UBB.threads message boards, so switching shouldn't be too difficult. Can we try it out on the archiveserver like we did with the new UBB? -- Kevin |

This is under discussion at the moment. Anyone with any other suggestions is certainly welcome to add them.

Re: vBulletin?
Seriously. Go to http://www.big-boards.com/ . Have a look at what the biggest boards on the Internet are using. UBB is nowhere in sight.
I'm curious as to what problems we'll see if we switch boards. phpBB and vBulletin are very configurable from what I understand. |

Re: vBulletin?
vBulletin is v good software, the messageboard I frequented most before 2+2 used it. I remember the search function was particularly good (2+2's isn't terrible, many forums have abysmal ones though).

[/ QUOTE ] Another option that scales pretty well is Jive Forums(https://www.jivesoftware.com). We used this at Walt Disney Internet Group (when I worked there last year) for all of their forums (ABC/ABCNews/ESPN/etc.) It is Java application based rather than PHP based with the ability to scale across multiple application servers. A very viable solution if performace and scalability is a major issue. |
